Marty Sheargold slammed by Bridget Hustwaite for medically inaccurate endometriosis claim

Axed Triple M radio host Marty Sheargold was shown the door on Wednesday after sexist comments made on Monday’s show towards the Matildas — but there was more.

On Tuesday afternoon, before the previous day’s comments had been picked up and began circulating on social media, Sheargold put his foot in his mouth again with another offensive and wildly false rant.

The comedian and actor began comparing his ability to cope with a back injury with that of women who suffer from endometriosis, a medical condition that causes tissue to grow abnormally outside a woman’s uterus instead of inside, where it would usually break down and leave the body each period.

It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and can cause challenges with fertility.

“I’ve done me back. It’s no secret over the last couple of days, I can’t hide it anymore,” Sheargold said during Tuesday’s show.

“I’ve got a heat pack behind my back, which is very comforting, and thank you to (executive producer Whitney Plowman) for bringing her period heat pack here because, God, don’t ladies carry on?

“Jesus Christ, there is no end of it. Honestly, endometriosis — and this is controversial...”

Sheargold tailed off with his sentence as his co-hosts attempted to save him from himself, sensing another inflammatory comment coming.

“No, I’m going to say it,” Sheargold persevered.

“It’s controversial. (Endometriosis); it’s made up.”

Former Triple J radio host and public endometriosis sufferer Bridget Hustwaite, who is an author on the experience of the condition, were both medically inaccurate and harmful to the one million Australians who live with it.

“Not to mention those who are still seeking a diagnosis, which on average takes 6.5 years,” she said in a statement to PerthNow.

“Imagine how those people feel hearing this? He claims to be a comedian, but let me tell you, there is nothing funny about a disease that causes organs to stick together or about being told you may never have children.”

Sheargold’s comments came 24 hours after he claimed “there’s something wrong with the Matildas” in a bizarre and unhinged rant on live radio while discussing the current SheBelieves Cup in the US, which Australia are competing in.

“You know what they remind me of? Year 10 girls,” Sheargold said.

“Now I’m sorry to undermine the whole sport, but that’s what I think of it, so you can stick it up your arse.

“Oh, she believes in what? It better be men.”

He later claimed he would rather “hammer a nail through the head of my penis” than watch the upcoming AFC Women’s Asian Cup in Australia next year.

“Got any men’s sport?” he added.

The comments began circulating on Tuesday night, with Sheargold and Triple M waking up to a storm of backlash on Wednesday morning, for which they eventually apologised, but later agreed to part ways.

Football Australia took a stand of its own, releasing a lengthy statement in the wake of the incident.

“Football Australia is deeply disappointed by the unacceptable comments made by Marty Sheargold on Triple M regarding the Matildas,” the statement reads.

“Such remarks not only diminish the extraordinary achievements and contributions of our women’s national football team but also fail to recognise the profound impact they have had on Australian sport and society.

“The Matildas have inspired a new generation of Australians from young boys and girls to men and women who now see a future for themselves in football and sport more broadly.

“They have broken barriers, set new standards, and elevated the game to unprecedented heights. Their success has been instrumental in transforming women’s sport in Australia, and they deserve to be covered with the respect and professionalism they have earned.”
